Camp Info and Location / What To Bring

LOCATION

Go to this page to see the location and how to get there!

SHUTTLE SERVICE

Go to this page for info on our Intention Shuttle

CELL PHONE COVERAGE (if that matters to you)

Cell phone reception at the location is spotty and works better in some areas than others.  If you walk just downhill from the gate then you will be on the network pretty much for sure.  Just do that every couple of hours and you should get all your texts :-)

 

WHAT TO BRING

YOUR FRIENDS!!

IDENTIFICATION

please have picture identification ready to show at the gate, THANK YOU!!

FOOD

see Food Pod - you will be fed three yummy meals per day, but you are responsible for having a few snacks, food for special dietary requirements, and meat/fish if these are an essential part of your diet (meals provided are vegetarian/vegan, with gluten-free options).  There will be a secondary kitchen set up for cooking your own food if needed, but if you have a camp stove you would like to contribute to the secondary kitchen (we have some already but not lots) please bring it!  Watch for more info here and on the Intentiontribe email list for more about this.  (If you are not on the Intentiontribe email list you can join it by following the instructions here)

 

IMPORTANT! PLEASE NO anise, fennel, licorice - some people onsite are extremely allergic to these particular substances!  Also, please keep strong artificial frangrances/scents to a minimum, or not at all. 

WATER

There is a creek on the property which the owner has been drinking from for over 10 years, but it is a creek and therefore not guaranteed potable. We ask that people bring their own water. There is an aquifer well pump in lower Gibsons where you can fill up if you like. They have recently started charging $1/gallon for this service and you will need to pay by credit card.

There are NO SHOWERS, but you can use the creek water for washing with earth-friendly soap.

PERSONAL STUFF

COSTUME STUFF –  EXPRESS YOURSELF!!

Themes to consider: Tutus are ALWAYS appropriate at Intention :-)

 

CASH FOR THE TRIBAL MARKET–  SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISANS!!

Our Tribal Market will have artisans bringing one of a kind pieces, handcrafted goodies, feathery goodness and costume pieces galore for your purchase.  You’re sure to find a thing or two to compliment your costumes, fill your tummy or soothe your skin.  So bring SOME CASH to spend on these wonderful creations and support a member of the community!!! Prices vary from $2 all the way up to $300, so please be prepared, as there won't be a bank machine on site.

What to Leave Behind

  • lavender, amber, patchouli, anise, fennel, licorice - some people onsite are extremely allergic to these particular substances!  yes, we are serious, please abide by this!
  • candles holders and lanterns to keep the land safe
  • hangups
  • cares and worries
  • negative attitudes
  • dogs and other companion animals unless they are actually a "service animal" (talk to info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org for clarification).  Unfortunately animals--especially dogs--do not always mix well with a large crowd of strange people of all ages. We don't like the idea of having to ask folks who bring animals to keep them tied up at all times, so we ask if you would please leave your non-human friends with others who can love them safely over Intention weekend. Thanks.

and last but definitely *not* least, bring your love, cuddles, and urge to dance, express yourself and participate!
